AmiSight 10/6: First Comes Stability, Then Comes Marriage

Couples today don’t expect to live off love alone after the wedding. In a shift in the economics of marriage, many are choosing to establish financial stability before they tie the knot.
According to The Wall Street Journal, this approach—where both partners wait to build a career or wealth before walking down the aisle—is known as the “capstone” model of marriage. It replaces the older “cornerstone” model, in which couples wed in their early 20s and then worked together to buy a home, build savings, and advance their careers.
This shift in mindset is contributing to the rising age at which people are first getting married—or making them less likely to marry at all, according to recent census data. Yet while fewer couples are saying “I do,” divorce rates are also declining.
